Cheetahs - Port Elizabeth

Hi
I am back.

John and the family went to a game park near Port Elizabeth today.

Here is a video of the cheetahs arriving at the foot of the bridge to the cheetah camp.

John took the video

Impressive animals!
View the video on full screen.

 

Enjoy!
I case you got a shock - there is a fence between the end of the bridge and the cheetah camp!
Whew!

Guard returning home

On 2 May 2014 John watched the changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. Afterwards John happened to be where the Guard marches home. It reminded John very much of the Grey Band street march past in Port Elizabeth. John felt very proud. Here is a video John took as the guard reached home.

And - the March past at the Palace earlier

National Gallery And St. Martin's

Trafalgar Square

The restaurant below St. Martins is much bigger than the picture suggests. The is an excellent shop as well. Above the crypt is the peaceful Church right next to the throbbing energy of Trafalgar Square.
